WHAT ARCHBISHOP WALSH SAYS OF THE ATTITUDE OF
THE POPE
Michael Davftt made another speech at BOdyke
yesterday. He said that he had received letter
from Mrs Davitt intimating that II he should be
arrested she would speak at evictions in his stead
Continuing, he said that for the last eight years
he had counseled moderation. The result had
been his imprisonment. Brazen English govern
ors had given the Irish kicks and insults for their
moderation. As soon as the tory blackguardS
showed moderation he would return the favor.
During the evictionS at Bodyke two women de-
fed the police for one hour by throwing boiling
water and whitewaSh upon them. The family was
finally eyicted and the women were arrested.
TI0NISTS.
Archbishop Walsh, or Dublin, in sending Mr.
Harrington, secretary of the Irish National
League, GOO, which had been forwarded to him
by the Irish residents at Kimberley, Africa,
together with letter expressing the hope that
the people OF Ireland would avoid crime, despite
coercion, trusts that the moderate cOunSelS Of
AesSrs. Parnell, Harrington and other political
leaders will not be thrown away. "AS long as the
national movement is kept within its present
lines" writes the archbishop, "Irtshmen may
safely defy the most vicious efforts TO SANDER
them at Rome. Especially may they disregard,
with the utmost confidence, the efforts, no matter
how STRENUOUS, 10 persuade the pope that the
Nationalist are revOlutionistS."
